‘DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING AT MY HOUSE’

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM release the magnificently titled 'DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING AT MY HOUSE' on February 28th on DFA/EMI Records, taken from his hugely anticipated/highly acclaimed eponymous debut album which is out now. The bombastic beat driven album standout is backed by an exclusive new 'Shibuya' remix from Belgian beat brothers SOULWAX and follows hot on the heals of 'Movement' (which recently featured in NME's singles of the year), and previous singles 'Yeah', Give It Up' and 'Losing My Edge' - All of which were NME Singles of the week.

Have Daft Punk really played at his house? "Of course not. I used to play house parties in punk rock bands. You don't really get paid, but what you do is sell a ton of merchandise, and get a place to sleep. When I got into dancing, taking E and being optimistic, I thought; wouldn't it be great if some kid wanted Daft Punk to play at his house? So he rings the agent who says they'll cost £40,000 and he saves for seven years and finally gets enough money and flies Daft Punk over. And, of course, they'd have no idea where they would be landing, 'cos the rider includes two first-class tickets on Air France. And the kids would be earnestly trying to meet all the rider requirements, but Daft Punk would still end up playing in the basement next to the washing machine, which we all did. A local hardcore band is supporting, and the PA consists of all the local kids' amps and stereos taped together. I thought that would be like the best show that anyone would ever see. My goal is to actually make that happen for a video - find a really great punk rock house, get Daft Punk to play, and LCD Soundsystem would be the opening local band. It just makes me happy."
